HSBC Amanah Sponsors HaJJ Exhibition At British Museum

HSBC Amanah-sponsored exhibition ‘Hajj: journey to the heart of Islam’ at the British Museum will be the first major exhibition dedicated to the Hajj; the pilgrimage to Mecca which is central to the Muslim faith. It will examine the significance of the Hajj as one of the Five Pillars of Islam, exploring its importance for Muslims and looking at how this spiritual journey has evolved throughout history. This exhibition concludes the British Museum’s series of three exhibitions focused on spiritual journeys.
Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, said “The British Museum’s exhibition, Hajj: journey to the heart of Islam, will enable a global audience to deepen their understanding of the significance and history of the Hajj. In particular, it will allow non-Muslims to explore the one aspect of Islamic practice and faith which they are not able to witness directly, but which plays a major part in forming a worldwide Islamic consciousness.”
Mukhtar Hussain, Global CEO of HSBC Amanah and & CEO HSBC Malaysia said: “We are delighted to be associated with the British Museum’s exhibition, Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam, which forms part of HSBC’s wider Cultural Exchange programme promoting international understanding.”
